If you've seen Incredibles 2 (I guess I should put up a SPOILER warning if you haven't yet), I'm sure you've wondered: What all went down the night that Edna babysat Jack-Jack? Well, wonder no more as you can read all about it in this Incredibles 2 inspired children's storybook—Babysitting Mode! Written by Sarah Hernandez, released on May 1st.
This is a 23 page story with loads of cute illustrations (no credit to the illustrator; just the typical "Disney Storybook Art Team") and with several fun bonus pages featuring over 30 stickers AND several card stock punch-outs (Edna Mode glasses on the first page and two Incredibles masks on the final page). This book is paperback and was not released as a hardcover.
And remember that art by Eric Tan that has been used heavily in the marketing and products for Incredibles 2? Yah, how could you forget since it shows up on just about everything. Here it is once again, this time as stickers! These designs have sure gotten good use over the last few months.
Let's take a peek inside at some of the fun pages you'll discover! This should give you an idea of the book's flavor and help you decided if you want to pick this one up for your collection.
The last two pages are additional stickers and the aforementioned punch-out super masks with instructions.
This is a cute Incredibles 2 companion story with some fun Jack-Jack antics. With that said though, there isn't too much to it (nothing we really didn't see already in the movie) and is definitely geared towards younger kids (ages 3-7 perhaps). Kids in that age range will love this I'm sure and will ask to read it over and over. I think this would have been more hilarious as a short film, which I'm still hoping they end up doing for the film's Blu-Ray release (in the same vein as Jack-Jack Attack). Maybe not though since, as I said, we've already seen Jack-Jack use his powers so many times at this point that I don't think it'd be quite as fresh. That's probably why they decided to tell the story in book form. What do you think?
For young Incredibles fans, I can totally recommend this book. They'll enjoy the the simple, silly story and all the stickers and press-out extras! There's a lot here for just $4.79. Pick it up on Amazon using the link below or wherever Incredibles 2 books are sold (i.e. Barnes & Noble online HERE or in stores). Also available digitally; Nook and Kindle.
